Sooo i was wondering if i should invest in an expensive turbo kit, 3-4k or should i grab a cheap 1200 ebay turbo kit with mostly everything i need, it comes with a turbonetics turbo t3/t4 hybrid i believe, but everything else is kinda no name? I dont mind having to replace things as the break buuut in the end do u think it will cost more money? Also there is the option of slowly waiting for certain parts to come up, new or used and piece it all together

You can replace one bolt at a time so you don't even have to remove the head. The m21 turbo diesel manifold won't fit the M50 head, and the turbo that it came with is way too small for your use anyway.

You could always just get it, and get it modified to fit. The flange will bolt up to the exhaust side I'm sure (but you should verify) so at most you'd need to get the pipes moved around to make it fit in the E34. (Though I think you have more room than the E36.)

What are you going to use for fuel? Get Barrie to tune a chip for you?

A real Turbonetics t3/t4 is a $600-$800 turbo new. If there's an ebay kit with a real Turbonetics turbo and all the other bits (fittings, couplings, IC, piping, BOV, manifold, etc..) then it's a decent deal. Just a word of caution I have one of these ebay turbo manifolds on my turbo car...

The fitment is garbage. You'll have to slot holes to get it to fit, and I'm sure you can guess which runners from the picture (upper stud on #2 and lower on #4) but there are two studs that you have to thread the nuts onto as you slide the manifold on because once the manifold is all the way on there's not enough room to get the nut on the stud. And on my manifold the upper stud on #5 was too close to the runner to get a nut on anywhere.

for fuel i will just use 94 premium, i bought the #42 injectors to allow more fuel as u may have seen, and yeee barrie will be helping me with the tuneage!!, ive decieded to go with an ebay turbo kit, that has almost everything i need!!... i know that no name turbos are shit but for now this is what i will be going with... i will upgrade to a garret or turbonetics turbo in the future.... here is the link to the kit....
